Book overview

With the dreaminess of Lore Olympus and the magic of The Girl from the Sea, here is an ethereal, paranormal romance that plays out between a waking life that feels muted and a world of lucid dreams that sparkles in full color.

Haunted by a recurring dream, Alicia borrows a book about lucid dreaming, and soon learns to take control of her sleeping life. She welcomes the arrival of her best friend's boyfriend in her dreamworld, and soon sparks start to fly. But then he admits, when they are both awake, that he remembers everything that happened while they were asleep. Suddenly, Alicia's dream life has become as complicated as her waking one.

In this electrifying graphic novel, Glock whisks readers on a head-spinning romantic dream odyssey, exploring the ways in which we hold ourselves back--and what it will take to let our wildest dreams come true.
